Lowland

Higher than 1% of albums we've rated

The song has solid writing and performance but lacks depth for repeated listening.

What we noticed

• — The track features a steady mid-tempo rhythm with acoustic guitar as the primary instrument, accompanied by soft percussion.
• — Mraz's vocal delivery is expressive, alternating between softer verses and a more powerful chorus that emphasizes the song's emotional message.
• — The structure follows a traditional verse-chorus format, with a bridge that introduces a slight variation in melody before returning to the final chorus.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
